TW200841668A - Method and system of providing network addresses to in-premise devices in a utility network - Google Patents

Abstract

One example embodiment provides a method and system where a node in a utility network receives a block of IPv6 network addresses from an access point in the utility network. The utility node allocates an IP network address from the block of IPv6 network addresses received from the access point to an in-premise device which communicates to the utility node over an in-premise network which is not IP based. The utility node proxies the allocated IP address to the utility network, allowing other nodes on the utility network to address and communicate with the in-premise device.

A particular node may be able to encapsulate a plurality of ιρν6^ packets in a Pv4 packet. In addition, the node of the material may also establish a ιρν4 tunnel by the -IPv6 network. The communication between the nodes will be more fully described below. Assigning and Logging Network Addresses in a Communication Network 8 200841668 FIG. 2 is an overall block diagram of a communication network including a LAN 200 and a LAN 206. These LANs will connect node 202 with access point 201. As shown, the LAN 200 has two access points and the LAN 206 has one access point. A Domain Name Server (DNS) 203 is connected to the LAN 200 and LAN 206 via the access point 201 and is connected to a communication network 204. In this presently preferred embodiment, DNS server 203 is capable of receiving and processing dynamic updates to provide dynamic DNS services. The dynamic update of DNS is based on IETF RFC 2136. Communication network 204 may be any type of communication network that includes, but is not limited to, LAN, WAN, wireless network, fixed line network, private network, virtual private network, ... and the like. In the presently preferred embodiment, the communication network 204 is a wide area network and may use one or more communication protocols, such as IPv4 or IPv6. One or more computing devices 205 are coupled to the communication network 204. A network address of a node 202 can then be used to send a message from the computing device 205 to the node. The computing device 205 may be any device, combination of devices, network management system, server, logistics system (BOS), computer, network device, communication device, application software, or capable of being stored through the communication network 204. A component that takes a point or node to communicate. A second LAN 206 may also be connected to the DNS server 203 and the communication network 2〇4. A DNS server may be dedicated to a single LAN, or two or more LANs may share a DNS server. As shown, the LAN 200 does not overlap with the LAN 206 because none of the nodes and access points shown in the figure are members of the LAN 200 and LAN 206 at the same time. Alternate Embodiments 9 200841668 can have one or more LANs that overlap, where one or more nodes and/or access points are common to one or more LANs. Alternate embodiments may have additional LANs that may or may not overlap each other. In the presently preferred embodiment, the network address of a node is obtained according to the method described below in conjunction with FIG. The DNS server 203 will retain the network address of the node of the LAN network associated with it. As discussed above, a DNS server may be associated with one or more LANs and will retain the network addresses of nodes within one or more LANs. In a preferred embodiment, a node that has been logged into several access points may have at least as many network addresses. The network addresses of these nodes may be included in the DNS server or node routing register. In addition, the DNS server may also retain address assignment information, such as node address assignment indicators (or node priority indicators). The information shown in Table 1 below can be incorporated into a portion of the information used to reserve the network address of a node in a LAN. The resource records retained in the DNS server may contain: Table 1 Resource Record Type Node Network Address Node Name Node Address Priority Indicator AAAA ADDR1 MAC1 50 ADDR2 30 ADDR2 10 AAAA ADDR4 MAC2 80 AAAA ADDR5 MAC3 44 ADDR6 20 10 200841668 As shown in Table 1, in the presently preferred embodiment, the node name is the MAC address of the node. However, other embodiments may use other names for the node, which may or may not contain or may be based on the MAC address. Further, the table! The resource record (RR) type in the middle may be an IPv6 type. The information in the routing book can be updated based on a number of criteria, including periodic updates or updates when one or more criteria are met.

For the purpose of explanation, only the one shown in the figure is shown below and only one DNS server is discussed below. However, alternative embodiments may use multiple Dns servers. Alternative embodiments of such DNS poor source records may contain additional information or may exclude specific information contained in Table 1. In addition, although Table 1 contains only three nodes of information; however, alternative embodiments of routing books can also have more or fewer nodes of information.

Figure 3 is not a method for obtaining the network address of a node.

The overall flow chart. Name q Λ ^ A At step 301, a node wishing to send-packet or - Γ-_ will generate a drawing resolution request to delete. The parsing requirement includes "node" (four), which is "μ". The node identifier can be $ ^ . Also "product" is a child, a number, a symbol, or any combination of characters. As described above, in Figure 1, the currently preferred per-node identifier system 哕4 Μ 灵 e U, take the MAC address of the node you are expecting. If the source or request node contains the information of the network address, the network 2, the identifier of the network, the node, the address of the network address, etc., as shown in Table 1 200841668

At this point, the DNS server will receive the DNS resolution request of the prospective node. At step 303, the DNS feeder responds to the node associated with the node identifier with a network address. In the presently preferred embodiment, the network address is an IP < In a presently preferred embodiment, the resource. The recorded AAAA is related to an iPv6 address. The π"resource record (rr) may be of type A, PTR type, or CNAME type. The DNS server may have more than one network address for a given node. For example, multiple i p V 6 addresses may be associated with a given node (either an access point, or B〇s, or any other device on the network). In the event that multiple addresses are associated with a given node, then at step 3〇2, the DNS server may assume all available network addresses for a particular RR. Alternatively, the server may select a subset of network addresses associated with the intended node. For example, the DNS server may select a network address to respond to the electronic device. If a subset of network addresses associated with the intended node is selected, the selection may be based on the cost of the connection, based on the selection criteria of the meditation, and by policy (for example, wishing to be associated with the node parent) The electronic device of the message 4 'the type, size, or priority of the message, the specific aspect of the message used by the node, or the network device (for example, server, network management system, billing) Based on the nature of the system, supply disruption management system, public management system, etc.), or based on specific other criteria. If multiple network addresses are provided in the face resolution request, then the response may also include the corresponding node address priority mismatch. At step 304, the node receives the DNS resolution request from the DNS server. 12 200841668 The θ used to transmit the message from the node and/or the electronic device to the pre-, month, or electronic device corresponds to one or more access points. : End of the example: In 1PV6...'The network address will usually be... / : If there are more than one access point, then the network address is white, and the IPv6 address will be given with a given address. The access point is associated. In this way, the IPv6 network address can be used to the ^ access point to communicate a message to the network destination. If a node is located in a LAN with multiple access points, then the node may have more than one IPv6 address associated with the node. Example 1 - Multiple Entry Using IPv6 Network Addressing This example has a given node with a node name of Node 丨. The node worker has two IPv6 network addresses associated with it. The routing entry for node i can be read as follows:

Node 1 is connected to a communication network 13 200841668 via two access points AP1 and AP2. The API is associated with the IPv6 preamble 2001:2i05:20ae:1::/64, and AP2 is associated with the IPv6 preamble 2001:2105:2〇ae:2::/64. A network device wishing to send a message to node 1 (for example, a logistics system that manages supply interruption detection) may receive network bits associated with node 1 from the routing register of the DNS server. Address (or may receive two network addresses). The message sent by the debt measurement system in the supply to node 1 using the network address with preamble 2〇01:2105:20ae:2::/64 will be routed via φ AP2. Messages sent from the provisioning interruption detection system to node i using the network address with preamble 2001:2105:20ae:l::/64 are routed via the API. The overall communication flow diagram of method 400 for registering a node device with an access point is shown in FIG. Logging in to a node device to obtain a network address can be applied to any type or protocol network address. In a preferred embodiment, the LAN may be using the lpv6 protocol (either alone or in conjunction with the IPV4 protocol). For purposes of discussion, the method 400 will illustrate a wireless lan node using the ΙΡν6 network address. In the presently preferred embodiment, (4) M initiates a discovery process and identifies its neighboring nodes and one or more lans that provide outgoing and incoming: fetch. The node may further initiate a route analysis to identify a better one-hop neighbor (one_h〇p neighb〇r) set that will provide out-of-office through one or more access points at the lowest path cost. The login process is then initiated using one or more APs and an affiliate @DNS server. At 4〇1, the node will send a layer 2 login message to an access point Ap. 14 200841668 At 402, the ap responds with a layer 2 acknowledgement message containing an IPv6 preamble associated with the AP. In addition to this, the acknowledgement message may also contain configuration information. In a presently preferred embodiment, the set of complaints includes information that allows the node to log into a DNS server. In another embodiment, the UI may proxy the transmission of the DNS request on behalf of the node. At 4〇3, the node will receive the layer 2 acknowledgement message and send a layer 3 IPv6 login message to the DNS. In a currently preferred embodiment, the 1 login message sent to the DNS includes the node 乂 ν6 address 'which uses the ΙΡv6 preamble received from the AP and a unique IPV6 "post code". In order to complete the IPv6 address of the node. This is done in conjunction with the stateless automatic configuration steps of RFC 2462. In a preferred embodiment, the IPv6 post code is based on the mac address of the node. Alternate embodiments may use a post-code that is not based on the MAC address to create a unique IPv6 address for the node. Note that the IPv6 address of a node is not necessarily domain-specific. At 404, a layer 3 acknowledgement message is sent from the DNS to the node and is received by the node at 405. This layer 3 acknowledgement message may contain a login confirmation message from the node to the DNS server, which may contain additional information. Although method 400 only shows that a node is logged into an access point, however, in the presently preferred embodiment, all nodes will be logged into at least the access point. In addition, in the presently preferred embodiment, if there are more than one access point on the LAN associated with the node, then more than one access will be registered on their LAN. Among the points. 15 200841668 Point can even log in to all access points on the LAN associated with this node. In the presently preferred embodiment, a given node may have more than one unique IPv6 address associated with the node. If, as described above, the IPv6 preamble of an access point and a unique component (for example, the MAC address of the node) determine the address of a node of 1?¥6, then if the node logs in Within a plurality of access points, then the node will be associated with multiple unique IPv6 addresses. In this way, a node may have multiple ^multihomed paths. Node Μ may send a layer 3 SNMP TRAP or INFORM message to a logistics system BOS at 406. Alternatively, the DNS server may send a message to the BOS via SNMP. Preferably, the SNMP TRAP or INFORM message contains at least one IPv6 address of the node (and may include multiple network addresses associated with the node )). At 407, the BOS will receive the SNMP TRAP or INFORM message and will reply with a Layer 3 message, such as a GMI (General Management Information) data query. GMI Information Query messages may require information about node Μ. For example, if the node is a meter in the public network, then the GMI data query message may require information related to the configuration settings of the meter, the status of the meter, and the Information about the valuable resources being measured, ...etc. At 408, the node will receive the data inquiry message and send a data response message. At 409, the BOS receives the data response message from the node Μ. The BOS may request a given node's network bit at any time 16 200841668. For example, when a message is expected, if the BOS has not received a message from the node, then the BOS may query the node M. If the B0S does not already have a node's network address, or in a preferred embodiment, unless the S 0 S is responding to a received message, the network is configured to use In order to require a network address, the BOS may use the DNS server to perform the lookup (ie, a DNS resolution request). At 410, the POS sends an IPv6 network address lookup message for the node to the DNS server. At 4 丨, the DNS server will respond with the IPv6 address of the node M to B〇s (if the DNS server has the network address of the node M, otherwise the servo will respond to it. The network address with this node). At 4 12, the IPv6 address of the node is received. If the node is not logged in, or if the B s does not receive the network address of the 忒 node, then the B s s may attempt to privately infer the] [P bit The address may or may not be a single address. "Hai B〇S can use the AP's IPv6 address and the node's MAC address (as described above) to create a unique IPv6 address. The B〇S may send an IPv6 message to the AP to request the AP to forward a message to the node based on the node-based MAC identifier. Alternatively, the BOS may ask the Ap to ping the section • Occupy to determine the network address at that point and/or investigate the results of the login process. If the node encounters a problem, for example, power loss, hardware or software problems, network problems, etc., node Μ 17 200841668 may send a message to indicate a problem ( For example, the SNMP TRAP or INFORM message is given to the BOS (or to any device that the node μ can reach). In the event of power loss, the node may send a "last gasp" message. At 413, node μ will send a final wheezing message to the UI. In general, Layer 2 finally has a very short wheezing message, and has only basic information to save the resources of the node and the resources of the network, so that the message will be reliably received by other neighboring nodes and corresponding ports. At 414, the 接收 will receive the last wheeze message from the node ,, and in this preferred embodiment of the uranium, an SNMP 1 TRAP or INFORM PDU (a protocol data unit or SNMP packet) and L2 "last breather" The messages are encapsulated and forwarded to a POS indicating that the Ap has received a final respite message from the node. Example 2 - Network Addressing for Transport Nodes

A given node in this example is a transport device as shown in FIG. Specifically, a node is a hybrid vehicle whose battery is charged from an electric grid. When a node is inserted into a power outlet, the node will attempt to establish communication with the power utility (called B〇s_HB). In this example, the node is located in the coverage area of LAn_7, which is a wireless communication network using IPv6 protocol. Node η will send a layer 2 login request message to at least the access point in sub_7. With the =LAN-7 access point, it will respond to its ιρν6 preamble, which is selfish. Node H will use the preamble received from AP1 to create - the unique IPv6 address 1 point will make the (four) point - the network card. Address, 18 200841668 Together with the IPv6 preamble from the API, to create this unique IPv6 address. The node will send a layer 3 login message to a DNS server associated with LAN-7 and will receive an acknowledgement message from the DNS server. The node 还会 is also registered in a second access point (called ΑΡ-2) on the LAN-7. Both API and AP2 can communicate with BOS-HB via a communication network. AP2 will send its IPv6 preamble 21 ff to the node, which will use the preamble to create a second unique IPv6 address associated with ΑΡ2. The node then sends an SNMP TRAP or INFORM message to the BOS-HB indicating its location on LAN-7. In addition, the message sent to the BOS-HB also contains information to alert the BOS-HB that it knows that the node is currently connected to the electrical gate and is receiving power to recharge the node's battery. BOS-ΗΒ will send a message to the node to investigate the power usage of the node and also send a message to check if the node is still on the network. Before sending a message to the node, the BOS-HB cooperates with the DNS server to perform a lookup on the node's network address. The DNS server that responds to the node's lookup request can determine which two unique IP addresses associated with the node are to be provided to the BOS-HB. In this exemplary embodiment, the DNS server's routing entry contains a unique priority identifier associated with the IPv6 address corresponding to the node. This priority indicator specifies that ΑΡ2 is better than ΑΡ1 because the connection reliability of ΑΡ2 and ΑΡ2 is better than the connection reliability of ΑΡ1. Therefore, the DNS server will echo the BOS-HB with the network address associated with ΑΡ2. The BOS-HB will then use the network address associated with AP2, which will then route the message to the node via AP2. If the message is sent from BOS-HB via the AP2 to the node 21 200841668, the BOS-HB (or another device in the network) can request the monthly b θ and receive the second best network associated with the node H. The address is, and the failed network message is used to resend the failed message. Since the second best network address of the node 对应 corresponds to Αρι, the resend of the failed 4 message is sent to the node via Αρι to respond. Hai has failed to send a message to the network address associated with Ap2, which may change the priority identifier associated with one or more network addresses associated with node H' and possibly It will also change the priority DDNS of other nodes according to one or more criteria (for example, node ^ proximity, and his dependencies, and the dependency of the section ^, etc.). The first table mismatch may be issued by any of the nodes H, BOS-HB, AP-1, and ap_2. ::Η will send a request containing the node U network bit = from - from __. If it contains: The front-end ΑΡ ΑΡ 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 B B B B B B B B B 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 吩 B 吩 B B B 吩 B B B B B B B B B B B 。 。 。 。 。 Node = Which of the associated networks is to be selected. By relying on the packet of the second:: from ... in the node, you can select the outer _J of the LAN = the code is set, and the outgoing control is performed by the example.

Otherwise, or The mobile node may send information to one or more A? to avoid un-entering them; or, Ap4's policy may decide not to deactivate a given action node based on one or more characteristics.

Insteon, other technologies based on IEEE 8〇215, etc. The public node 31 Cedar Ave will communicate wirelessly with a public network using the ιΡν6 protocol. The public network includes other common nodes and at least one access point, and a BOS for managing node 31 Cedar Ave. Common Node 3 1 Cedar Ave includes a power usage meter that monitors and reports the amount of electricity used by the home. In addition to this, node 3丨. Order

Ave迺 contains an interface for other valuable resource meters that will be connected to a natural gas meter that monitors and rewards the natural gas usage of the home. Section 沾 3 1 Cedar Ave will assign a ιρν6 address to each of these indoor units. Node 31 Cedar Ave shares the assigned IPv6 address of the auto-tuner, pool pump, reefer, and entertainment system with the communications network. Specifically, the network addresses of the indoor devices are shared with an indoor management portal that is connected to the public network and allows the homeowner to monitor and control the indoor devices. - or the network address of the plurality of indoor devices may also be transmitted by the node 31 (10) a in the communication network, or may communicate with the node 31 Cedar A" via the communication network. The other person can use the allocated address to communicate with the indoor devices. The node 31Cedar Ave receives the packet of the slave device, and identifies the expected host according to the allocated π address 26 200841668. , , ^ , J , , and in the appropriate indoor communication system (WPAN, PLC, ^ \ , ···,), the payload of the packets is forwarded to the intended device. Similarly within the ° Hai to The communication received from the indoor device on the communication system is entered into the payload of at least one (or plural) packets and will be sent C to the ig to the internal access port 'its inclusion is assigned to the The network address of the indoor unit. The internal register item of the "Hai-specific device" can be read as follows: Indoor register----~~ Indoor device name--- Allocated IPv6 network address indoor communication Original technology Thermostat address 1 ZigBee reefer address 2 ZigBee ^ 1 PLC, pool pump address 3 ZigBee __ 参乐系统 address 4 ZigBee __^ 2__ Z, • Node 31 Cdar Ave will use these allocated networks The location of the road and the indoor communication technology to allow communication between the indoor devices and the outside of the indoor communication network. In a preferred embodiment, the common node may also maintain an access control list of the indoor device ( ACL) e uses the ACL, and the public node allows access to an indoor device based on the ACL. For example, the acl may specify that a security system may only allow access from a secure entry. Any device or system that communicates with the home security system 27 200841668 will be denied access unless it provides appropriate verification information corresponding to the security entry as specified in the ACL. The common node ACL may also be specified for use. The service of either or both of the inbound data traffic and the external traffic, or the network daemon name is preferred. The public node may assign a routable network address to the indoor device. In an in-device that may not be able to use the network address 10, as in example 3 above, the WPAN and PLC devices use their own network. The path address also has an assigned IP address. Therefore, the network address assigned to the indoor device is forwarded by the common node. In the embodiment using IPv6, an access point may allocate it. A portion of the IPv6 address has been assigned to the public node. The public node may then assign an address to the indoor device from the IPv6 address assigned to the public node. In a preferred embodiment, the Ap may assign a continuous network block to one or more common nodes. Then, the common nodes. • Any of these assigned addresses, or a portion of them, may be assigned to an indoor unit. The network address assigned to a device may be based in part or in whole on the Mac address of the public node that communicates with the device, an access point, or the device itself. Alternatively, rules or policies may be used to determine the address to assign to the indoor device. The rules may be based on: device type; device properties; network technology or network protocol used by the device; type of valuable resource usage for the device (for example, electricity, gas, water, .., etc.) · 28 200841668 ' 2 device: historical data or characteristics of price resource usage (for example, in high-use use, etc.), where the physical location or location of the device is located; the assigned attribute of the device (for example, the importance of a device, - the use of the device, such as medical equipment, fire-fighting equipment, security equipment, emergency response, injury, etc.); or the user of the device or the owner of the premises / The attributes assigned by the operator. The rules may also incorporate a number of factors listed above, for example, may consider the type of skirt, the physical location, the power consumption, and whether the device is related to a safety or emergency response. In addition, or may be reserved for a specific device, use, use :: two reserved specific network address. For example, specific network addresses may be reserved for emergency devices for their devices. Therefore, the emergency reactor-operating indoor unit appearing in the second to inner subnet can be (4): a priority address group of such emergency reactor devices is assigned to a single address. Recognized by a reserved address group, for example, according to the following: = According to a certain item, the sentence r, the second one with the network address: the reactor's ::: ", fire, EMT, ..., etc. ); their combination or organization (department, = device type - weaving, purpose, or any other attribute of the device; ... etc. 4 solution # ^ in assigning addresses to the common node and assigning those = 曰 位 位 给A possible implementation example of an indoor device of a common node 4 - Allocating an indoor IPv6 network address - A common node having a node name meter and a Τ ΗΜ is deployed in 29 200841668 residential units (or homes) And communicating with the indoor device (the home or the device in the neighboring home) via multiple protocols and communication technologies. In addition, the meter HM also includes a valuable resource meter that measures the use of the home. The meter HM can communicate with the device using the WP AN or with a PLC to communicate with a PLC-enabled device connected to the electrical grid of the home. The home contains: six indoor devices. They can communicate with the meter HM; a thermostat that communicates via the WP AN; a freezer that communicates via the PLC; a home warning system that communicates on the WP AN; a video camera that monitors a portion of the home and communicates on the WP AN; a health monitoring system that monitors the health of the elders and communicates on the WP AN; and communicates via the WP AN Home entertainment system. The meter HM communicates wirelessly with a public network using an IPv6 protocol. The public network contains other common nodes and at least one access point AP214, AP137, and AP8, and one The BOS of the management meter HM. The BOS also includes a customer portal that allows the homeowner to monitor or control or simultaneously monitor and control some or all of the indoor devices. Access points AP214, API37, and AP8 each Each has an /64 assignment value of an IPv6 address. The access point API 37 assigns /125 of the IPv6 address to the common node meter HM. The meter HM will be /125 from its IPv6 address. The address of the assigned value is used to allocate the address to the indoor device to be registered in it. The meter HM assigns the address to the 30 200841668 thermostat that communicates through the WP AN, and communicates through the PLC. Refrigerator, home warning system for communication on wpAN, video camera for communication on WPAN, health monitoring system for communication on WPAN, and home entertainment system for communication via WPAN. One or more indoor devices If it is removed, or if the login is cancelled from the meter HM, then the meter HM will reallocate the network address assigned to the removed or deregistered indoor device to another indoor device. Assigning address blocks to common nodes can be isolated according to various criteria. For example, a geographically or logically distinct zone 2 in the public network may have addressable blocks assigned from a subset of available address blocks. Although the above exemplary embodiment allows the indoor devices to communicate with a common node, wherein the indoor devices are assigned (or installed) somewhere within the common node; however, alternative embodiments may Let the room device communicate through the common node in the adjacent room. Although the above example uses a contiguous block of a given size according to the CIDR (Typeless Inter-Domain Routing) notation; instead of 35, alternative embodiments may use any size of the address block, and whether it is continuous or not continuous. The transmission of packets from an IPv6 node via an IPv4 network is performed via an IPv4 network using r 6 to 4 (6 t〇/"takes 6 plus m 4). The communication may be by the access point, the logistics system, or the system. Another component to decide. Communication between an aw 31 200841668 node in the public network via the lpv4 network, depending on the type of node, the type of network, the selected access point, the logistics system, the type of message, the degree of message queen, etc... It may be via "6 to 4" or "6 plus 4" communication. For example, for high security, you can use "6 plus 4" communication. ο月注忍' "6 plus 4" §fl is usually called tunneling, and "6 to 4" communication is usually called network address translation (NAT) or IPv6 packet Package. Figure 10 is an overall block diagram of a network 1000 in which an IPv4 tunnel connects an IPv6 LAN to a ιρν6 logistics system. Network 1000 includes two regional networks 1001 and 1002. LANs 1001 and 1002 contain node 1 003. In the presently preferred embodiment, node i 〇〇 3 is a common node. LAN 1002 will be connected to access point API 1004. The LAN 1001 will be connected to the access point AP2 1〇〇5 and the access point AP3 1〇〇6. The access point API 1004 and the access point AP2 1005 are connected to the communication network 1007. The access point AP3 1006 is connected to the communication network 1 〇〇 8. In the presently preferred embodiment, the communication networks 1〇07 and 1〇〇8 are wide area networks. The logistics system BOS-1 1009 will connect to the WAN 1007. The logistics system BOS-2 1010 will connect to the WAN 1008. The logistics system B〇S-3 1011 will be connected to WAN 1008. In this exemplary embodiment, LANs 1001 and 1〇〇2 use chest 6 for communication. Similarly, WAN 1008 uses the IPv6 protocol. Access point AP3 1006 (which will connect LAN 1001 to WAN 1008) is IPv6. The logistics system bos] 1〇〇9, b〇s_2 1〇1〇, and b〇s_3 1011 all use the IPv6 protocol. WAN 1007 is an IPv4 network and does not support ιρν6. Access points 1004 and 1005 (which will connect LANs 1〇〇2 and 1〇〇1 to Wan 32 200841668 1007, respectively) can communicate using IPv6 and participate in helping to transfer IPv6 packets to BOS 1009 and 1010 via WAN 1007. Among the mechanisms (and vice versa). Messages from the node 1003 destined for the BOS-1 1009 or BOS-2 1010 on the LAN 1002 are sent to the Access Point API 1004 using an IPv6 address and packet format. API 1004 creates and uses an IPv6 tunnel via WAN 1007 (dynamic or manual configuration). An IPv6 packet from node 1003 on LAN 1001 may route the packet through WAN 1007 or through WAN 1008. If the IPv6 packet is intended to be routed through the WAN 1008, the AP3 1006 will be used, and since the WAN 1008 is an IPv6 network, no tunneling, conversion, or encapsulation is required. However, if the IPv6 packet is routed through WAN 1007, AP2 1005 will be used, and the IPv6 packet from node 1003 will pass through a "6 plus 4" tunnel, as shown in the figure, or it may be encapsulated. In an IPv4 packet, it is transmitted through the WAN 1007 in a 6 to 4 virtual tunnel, as described below in conjunction with FIG. As shown in Figure 11, the packet flow between the access point associated with the IPv6 LAN and the POS is via an IPv4 WAN. Figure 12 shows an overall block diagram of a network 1200 in which an IPv6 packet passes through an IPv4 WAN. Network 1200 may include two regional networks 1201 and 1202. LANs 1201 and 1202 contain nodes 1203. In the presently preferred embodiment, node 1203 is a common node. LANs 1201 and 1202 communicate with node 1203 using IPv6 protocols and addressing. LAN 1202 will be connected to access point API 1204. The LAN 1201 will be connected to the access point AP2 1205 and the access point ΑΡ3 ι2〇6 by the connection 33 200841668. The access point Αρι 12〇4 and the access point AP2 1205 are connected to the communication network 12〇7. The access point Ap3 1206 is connected to the communication network 12〇8. In the presently preferred embodiment, communication networks 1207 and 1208 are wide area networks that use ipv4 protocols and addresses. The logistics system BOS-1 1209 is connected to the WAN 1207. The logistics system BOS-2 1210 will connect to WAN 12〇8. The logistics system B〇s_3 ΐ2ΐι will connect to WAN 1208. A node 12 〇 3 to send a message on the LAN 120 1 or 1202 to one or more of the logistics systems BOS-B BOS-2, and BOS_3 must pass through one or more IPv4 WANs 1207 or 1208. Node 1203 on LAN 1201 or 1202 sends an IPv6 packet using the IPv6 address to the appropriate access point for communication with the intended logistics system. If the BOS-1 1209 is the intended logistics system, API 1204 can be used to connect to the WAN 1207. The API 1204 will receive the IPv6 packet from the node 1203 and may encapsulate the received lpv6 packet in the payload portion of the IPv4 packet. For this purpose, Αρι may or may acquire a global IPv4 level for itself. The IPy4 header with protocol 41 will be appended to the ιρν6 packet. An IPv4 address associated with BOS-1 is used in the IPv4 packet, with the IPv6 packet as a payload (the IPv6 packet is a datagram within the ipV4 packet). The Bos-i address of the pre-packet header can also be extracted from the IPv6 destination address of the encapsulated packet by extracting the IPv6 destination address, the 2002:: 32-bit bit following the preamble. It is inferred that in this embodiment, the IPv4 source address in the pre-packet is the ipv4 address of AP1. 34 200841668 Next, the packet IPv4 packet is transmitted to BOS-1 1209 via WAN 1207. BOS-1 1209 The IPv4 packet is received and the encapsulated IPv6 packet is extracted. The payload of the IPv6 packet is extracted by the BOS-1 1209. In this way, the API 1204 and the BOS-1 1209 are switched to "6" via the IPv4 WAN 1207. The "4" tunnel is converted without creating a clear track.

Alternatively, AP1 1204, which receives the IPv6 packet from node 1203, encapsulates the IPv6 packet in a UDP packet for transmission to BOS-1 1209 using WAN 12〇7. As above, in this manner, AP1 12〇4 and B〇S-1 1209 can exchange OBV-1 WAN 1207 via ipV4 WAN 1207 to send a message to node 1203 via IPv4 WAN and IPv6 LAN. 1209 may be via WAN 1207. Send a ιρν4 packet to API 1204. API 1204 may append an IPv6 preamble to the front of the ιρν4 address received from BOS-1 1209 and destined for the packet of node 12〇3, so that the IPv4 address is effectively translated for use in The IPv6 LAN 1201 is sent to transmit the received packet. In yet another alternative embodiment, an IPv6 "clear tunnel" may be created via one or more ipv4 wan (or more than one ιρν6 tunnel may be created via a given WAN), again as described above. Awkward discussion. For example, a node on LAN_OR, 2Ό2 will send a packet to the appropriate access point using the ΙΡv6 address of the Π>ν6 address to communicate with the intended logistics system. If you delete the 12/9 system for the expected logistics system, you can use AP1 12()4 to connect to the WAN. The AH view will receive the ιρν6 packet from the node 12〇3, and may establish an IPv6 tunnel (or possibly an established) IPv6 tunnel via the IPv4 WAN 1207. A tunneling agent (not shown) may establish an IPv6 tunnel via IPv4 WAN 1207. This is a configured tunnel (referred to as a 6 plus 4 tunnel), wherein in a presently preferred embodiment, the amount of data traffic between the expected BOS and AP nodes on either side must be used. tunnel. A configuration script may be exchanged between the access point of the public network and a logistics system for establishing the tunnel via the wide area network. In a preferred embodiment, API 1204 establishes a tunnel to BOS-1 1209. However, alternative embodiments may allow one or more logistics systems to establish a "6 plus 4" tunnel to one or more access points via a WAN. The 6 plus 4 channel is once configured through the tunnel. In an alternate embodiment, for example, UDP encapsulation of IPv6 packets may also be used to prevent packets transmitted via WAN 1207 from being blocked by any NAT (Network Address Translation) device that may be present in WAN 1207. . The IPv6 packet IPv4 received by the API 1204 is transmitted to the BOS-1 1209 through the "6 plus 4" tunnel via the WAN 1207. The BOS-1 1209 will receive and process the IPv6 packet. Similarly, BOS-1 1209 may use the "6 plus 4" tunnel via WAN 1207 to send IPv6 packets to node 1203 via API 1204. Transferring IPv4 Packets via an IPv6 Public Network Figure 13 shows an overall block diagram of a network 1300 in which an IPv4 packet passes through an IPv6 LAN. Network 1300 may include two regional networks 36 200841668, roads 1301 and 1302. LANs 1301 and 1302 include a node 1303. In the presently preferred embodiment, node 13〇3 is a common node. The LAN 13〇2 is connected to the Access Point API 1304. The LAN 1301 will be connected to access two AP2 1305 and access point AP3 1306. The access point 1304 and the access point 1305 are connected to the communication network 13〇7. The access point 13〇6 is connected to the communication network. In the preferred embodiment of the uranium, the communication networks 13 〇 7 and 1 308 are wide area networks. The logistics system BOS-1 1309 is connected to the WAN 1307. φ Logistics System 1^8·2 U 1〇 will connect to WAN 1307 and WAN 1308. The logistics system BOS-3 1311 will connect to the WAN 1308. The node 1312 on the LAN 1301 is an IPv4 node that communicates using ιΡν4, and the LAN 13〇1 uses ιρν6. Sending a message to node 1312 of b〇s 131〇 (which will connect to LAN 13〇1 via IPv6 WAN) can be achieved by transmitting IPv4 packetized node 13 12 on LAN 13 01. Node 1312 will send its IPv4 packet to AP2, which was previously passed to BOS-1 1309. In this case, AP2 can read the destination header in the lpv4 packet, but will not format the packet; the packet will traverse to BOS-1 1309 or BOS_2 1310 on ιρν4 WAN 1307; BOS- Both 1 1309 and BOS-2 1310 are capable of decomposing the ιΡν4 packet, reading the source of the message and the payload; B0S-1 13〇9 and B〇S-2 1310 are also generated to be sent to the 1Pv4 node 1312. The IPv4 packet is used to pass through WAN 13 07 and is forwarded to node 1312 by AP2 1305. In an alternative embodiment, AP2 1305 can map the ιρν4 address to the header and convert it to ιρν6, and also read the payload and map it to the 1Pv6 packet. After that, the IPv6 packet will pass through WAN 13 07 as all other IPv6 37 200841668 packets in a 6 to 4 or 6 plus 4 tunnel; BOS 1309 and BOS 1310 will receive and process the reformatted ιρν6 packet and also An ipv6 packet is generated in any response to node 1312 or in any communication with node 1312. The returned I]pv6 packet is converted back to the Ipv4 format by Ap2 13〇5 before being passed to node 13 12. In yet another possible embodiment, the IPv4 packet from the node 1312 to the BOS 1310 or the BOS 1311 via the IPv6 WAN is converted to the IPv6 format by the AP2 1305 _ or AP3 1306, and is forwarded to the b〇s 131〇. Or BOS 1311 (in this way, there is no need to involve 6 plus 4 or 6 to 4 tunneling operations). This service has been described with reference to the specific embodiments. However, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in a form of a buckle other than that of the preferred embodiment described above.
